Hilmar Ingredients - Products

Whey protein is the most complete source of protein humans require for good health. When compared to other protein types, whey protein offers a superior amino acid profile and efficiency ratio.

Whey proteins have a Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) of 3.2, a "perfect" Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.00, and have a low glycemic load at two per 100 grams for concentrates and <1 for whey protein isolates. And with their formulation flexibility and high quality nutrition, Hilmar whey proteins can be used alone or to complement other proteins.

Within the Hilmar whey protein concentrate line, we offer specialty proteins including lactose-free, high gelling and alpha-lactalbumin enriched. The Hilmar whey protein hydrolysate line includes several levels of hydrolysis for options in flavor, texture improvements and nutritional value. And the line of Hilmar whey protein isolates includes proteins for clear beverages, dry mix and low pH formulations.

All Hilmar Ingredients whey proteins are Kosher and Halal approved, GMO-free and EU-conforming.
